I hate to break it to you but despite what you claim the flash video player is using gpu acceleration for scaling and colorspace conversion at minimum. On the other hand, the html5 player is most likely doing everthing in software hence the heavier cpu usage and less smooth playback.
That's funny because there have been all of 0 lawsuits over mono but there is a pretty high-profile lawsuit from oracle over java patents. But let's ignore all that since it doesn't jive with anti-mono FUD.
Tuning the thread scheduler is not normal for 99% of users. This is a lame excuse by amd for a cpu core that will be megafail. Ivy bridge will make it look even more pathetic.
An i2600k is only 15% more expensive has a 25% lower tdp and blows away the fx-8150 in most of the benchmarks. Even with this tweak it'll still barely compete and the 2600k has half as many real cores and a lower clock speed.
If you have a giant build, your design is not modular enough.
That makes no sense. You can have a modular system and still make changes the require giant builds. For example, if your module is something in the base of your system it will usually require you to recompile most of the rest of the system. Being modular will not stop that because you need to make sure that what you did in that one module does not break the pieces that use it. Secondly, what you seem to be complaining about is rather that people might not be doing incremental builds using make or a make-like tool. So, yes, if you are always rebuilding the entire system for no purpose that is stupid.
I never got how you could bounce around on stage like a monkey yelling "developers" and still charge people to develop on your platform.
You've always been able to freely develop for Windows. It's not as if you've HAD to have Visual Studio to do so. Secondly, for most software companies the cost of Visual Studio is a drop in the bucket in comparison to even 1 week of all their programmer's salaries combined.
And then in two years we'll deprecate the existing API, change the language specs just enough to break your apps...
How was this comment modded insightful? If anything that Microsoft is criticized for is usually the opposite of what you claim. This is the first time I've ever heard complaints that Microsoft changes their API too frequently.
Ah, the joy of Windows and its 'install anything anywhere, I don't care' philosophy.
How does this have anything to do with Windows? There are plenty of Linux programs that do exactly the same thing in installing their own version of a shared library or even worse they will bundle the code of that library within their own source so you can't even swap out the library if you wanted to. Seriously, you're a fucking idiot.

It doesn't work on the omap4 apparently according to Canonical which is what they are targeting for tablets and phones.
It's not downvoted. AC posts start at 0.
Exactly such as C being weakly, but statically typed.

Check your sarcasm detector. The guy was joking...
It's this new thing called a joke.
Windows Metro Apps are html5+javascript,
Wrong. Metro apps can be in a variety of languages.
We have intel with meego
Sure if we ignore the fact that they abandoned it back in September.

Oh goody! Now the tdp can be even worse than it already is!
But does the end user have to do esoteric tweaks themselves for an Intel processor with hyperthreading? Nope.
That and the fact that they are power hogs compared to even the higher end sandy bridge and phenom ii processors

Slower performance and higher tdp equals progress?

Conservatives are against the destruction of an embryo for the purposes of scientific research.
But apparently not against the embryos being destroyed in a furnace instead since that is what happens if they are not used in the research.

Oh and what's even more funny is that even the Linux kernel has it's own internal bundled version of zlib.
Sorry, that was meant to be zlib. And here is a bug report about rsync using an internal bundled version of zlib.
Yeah it's not like any Linux programs bundle internal version of zsync to work properly. Oh wait...
